Humans are one of the most dominant species on Futurama originating from Earth. Although their exact importance in the Universe can be disputed, given their frequent enslavement by other races, such as the Omicronians and Decapodians, and at least one other race in the past that paired off the most intelligent humans and forced them to mate for unknown purposes. They remain an important member of the Democratic Order of Planets. The DOOP Army is mainly made up of humans. Offshoot species such as Sewer Mutants exist; however, these are shunned and were not permitted to live on the surface of the planet until 3010 (6ACV12).

The Dark Matter Engines was a major technological leap, allowing humans to travel vast distances very quickly by moving the Universe around the ship. During to that, humans met many other intelligent species. Some of them have tried to take over Earth multiple times, but have not yet succeed.

The human body is controlled by Brain. Other major organs include Liver, Lungs and Stomach. (3ACV02) The human body is supported by bones. (6ACV01)

Mutated humans, called the Sewer Mutants, exist. They are humans mutated by radioactivity such as falling to the Lake Mutagenic. Most of them have an unique mutation, some of them only very little mutated, and some becoming completly unrecognizible. The Sewer Mutants got the same rights as regular Earthicans in 3010. (6ACV12)

Life span

The human life span has greatly increased during human history. At the 31st century, it is very common to live over than 160 years old. People older than 160 years are taken to the Near Death Star, an retirement home where they are hooked up to a life support system and a virtual reality. However, it is possible to avoid getting there (for example, if person manages to escape from the Near Death Star, nobody most likely tries later to get him/her back. (2ACV10) Humans can still live past 160 years. One invidual, Ava Porter (who resides at the Near Death Star) is known to suprass 210 years in age (by 3001, she was 211 years old).
